I really wanted this to work out. I loved the team but I had to decline the offer because I felt like the compensation wasn't transparent enough since they are in a quiet period right now. Around half of the compensation package was equity, they can't share too much, all you can calculate is their last valuation a couple years ago and the projected valuation when the RSU vest, there is a 3-4x difference there and you don't know where they are on that spectrum currently or what it will be when they go public. They did give some target comp numbers for a year out which would have been a solid offer, but I was getting those numbers at other companies based on current FMV at private companies and the current share price at public companies. I've received offers in the past from other companies at the brink of IPO and you know that they will try to lowball you, or in many cases, flop. I trust that Asana takes good care of their employees, but I cannot take this kind of risk right now in this economic environment. Do your research on Blind and read Glassdoor reviews. Or ask for a more cash heavy offer if you're in a more junior role.
